We were told to pack up and leave immediately because the hotel had been repossessed. I had to quickly find a new place to stay, which cost significantly more due to the short notice, and no time to compare prices and hotels. Plus, a totally wasted, and frustrating day out of our vacation.

This property would have been a solid 2 star accommodation. Fairly clean. Old furniture, poor mattresses, but my unit did have a little kitchenette and a bathtub. The problem was 2 days into my 6 night stay they were forced to shut down so I had 5 minutes to gather my stuff and get out. It was 11:30 at night so I’m on the phone with Expedia and thank god we found accommodations within a few blocks. It was a more expensive and much nicer property but Expedia stepped up and covered the bill. Thank you Expedia you were my savior that night.

Reasonably priced but dated boutique hotel Zone 1.
Dated hotel with kitchen. Did not use, the water pot was not cleaned. Very weak shower water flow on 3rd floor. Smell of Marijuana and cigarette when outside and stinks inside the lift. Spacious room and close to Tube station and eatery. Good price for Zone 1. Needs improvement.

Curate's egg
This was very much the curate's egg. I've stayed before and returned because I had a positive experience. This time - not so much. There are many good points. Everything was very clean. The bed was very comfortable. Plenty of sockets. What little staff interaction I had was very friendly. Less good were the total lack of any drawers anywhere or shelves in the bathroom or towel rails or hooks or basically any storage places other than a hanging wardrobe. The dodgy fridge - even when switched down to 3 was arctic ( I froze my salads and fizzy water solid the first night before I realised the settings were off). No dish drying towel or alternatively dish rack or even space for wet dishes. The shower was very good pressure wise but at bath tap level and without a shower curtain so either sit in the bath holding it or stand (holding it) and soak the bathroom. These are all manageable if not ideal. Less manageable is the lack of a single plug - not in the bathroom basin, the bath (why install a bath without a plug) or the kitchenette sink. Presumably there is a concern about guests flooding their apartments! Totally not okay was the absence of any light or light switch within the vicinity of the bed which meant groping about in the dark through the kitchenette to reach a switch or banging into the mezzanine ladder en route to or from the ensuite. However it is very competitively priced and perhaps that’s good for the money and I was extra lucky the first time?!

Great stay for the price
Overall it was a wonderful place. The room was a bit small, but I'm just a larger person so it was slightly crammed for my taste— but that's all down to personal preference. You get a mini fridge and microwave which is amazing, as you can actually buy groceries. The elevator was out of service when I arrived which was unfortunate but out of the hotels control. The woman that checked me in was very friendly. Room service knocks daily, so if you don't want that I would recommend getting a 'Do Not Disturb' sign for your door, as I personally felt overwhelmed as I usually didn't need it. The water for the shower is a bit difficult to adjust, but that could boil down to me just being dumb. The bed was quite comfortable, but the sheet was loose and not fitted so I often woke up to it being messed up since I toss in my sleep. Would've been better to have a proper fitted sheet on there. But again, definitely not a deal breaker. They were super friendly when I was checking out. Would definitely stay here again if I ever came back. Quite affordable and a very good location.

The Boka is fine for a budget stay overnight in London, but is very tired. My room unexpectedly has a fridge microwave and sink, as well as a second double bed on a mezzanine above the kitchenette. The bed was OK; I couldn't get hot water at all out of the shower (I discovered afterwards that there may have been a switch outside) and there were no towels when I arrived, although they were willingly produced. The area is generally quiet, but the large single glazed windows let in a surprising amount of noise from passers by. It's convenient for two tube lines, buses and Santander bikes.

Vesna was absolutely amazing. Very friendly and genuinely was interested in our trip and was so helpful. Offered to hold our luggage at the end of the trip and was always asking if we need anything. The hotel was actually pretty good. Stayed on ground floor in room 12 for one week. Having a kitchen was great and being so close to everything even better. Vesna really made the hotel for us as she was just so nice. The room was clean, and room service was daily. Even our dishes were cleaned, which we did not expect. Toiletries added daily. Only complaint is the mattress wasn’t that comfortable. I had the queen which I would suggest needs to be changed over. The single beds were apparently fine. Great location, very close to Earls Court and a large Tesco supermarket. Very handy having a fridge and a kettle. No toaster, but the stove top was handy. Also no dryer, but I expect that if I asked for one, it would have been supplied. On checkout I asked if they had a scale to weigh luggage, and Vesna said no not on hand, but had I asked her the day prior she would have brought her one from home. Again, amazing customer service - just couldn’t fault it! Great job!

Cheap and great location
Excellent location, staff incredibly friendly and helpful. Very basic hotel but thats what we expected for the price. Everything is a bit tired and in need of a lick of paint. Room was basic but absolutely fine for a few days. More Attention to detail with cleaning is required. Room was a bit dusty and We had someones leftover toiletries still in the bathroom and the room floor was dirty. Bed was clean and comfortable. All in all it was ok and we would stay here again. For the price you are paying its fine. If you want luxury then you need to pay luxury prices

Not a great property, but not a terrible one either. Premises are somewhat clean (including the bedroom), dated (it's an old, 'classic' building), but conveniently located. Shower water pressure is absolutely horrible, almost like a dripping (literally): called the nice lady at the reception desk, she said that's it. Also, no shower curtain, so water splashing all over the place. Mattress is very old, sunken in from use, so be prepared. Small room with a nice kitchenette, surprisingly quiet, but rather hot (no a/c). Room cleaning everyday (sheets not changed, just towels), so no need to ask for it. TV is actually a small pc monitor. If you just need a quiet crash pad very close to the subway, that's your place. Otherwise you'll most likely be disappointed. But then, can't really expect a Hilton at this price point, right?
